Titus 3

New International Reader's Version NIRV

1 Remind God's people to obey rulers and authorities. Remind them to be ready to do what is good.

2 Tell them not to speak evil things against anyone. Remind them to live in peace. They must consider the needs of others. They must be kind and gentle toward all people.

3 At one time we too acted like fools. We didn't obey God. We were tricked. We were controlled by all kinds of longings and pleasures. We were full of evil. We wanted what belongs to others. People hated us, and we hated one another.

4 But the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared.

5 He saved us. It wasn't because of the good things we had done. It was because of his mercy. He saved us by washing away our sins. We were born again. The Holy Spirit gave us new life.

6 God poured out the Spirit on us freely because of what Jesus Christ our Savior has done.

7 His grace made us right with God. So now we have received the hope of eternal life as God's children.

8 You can trust that saying. Those things are important. Treat them that way. Then those who have trusted in God will be careful to commit themselves to doing what is good. Those things are excellent. They are for the good of everyone.

9 But keep away from foolish disagreements. Don't argue about family histories. Don't make trouble. Don't fight about what the law teaches. Don't argue about things like that. It doesn't do any good. It doesn't help anyone.

10 Warn anyone who tries to get believers to take sides and separate into their own little groups. Warn him more than once. After that, have nothing to do with him.

11 You can be sure that someone like that is twisted and sinful. His own actions judge him.

12 I will send Artemas or Tychicus to you. Then do your best to come to me at Nicopolis. I've decided to spend the winter there.

13 Do everything you can to help Zenas the lawyer and Apollos. Send them on their way. See that they have everything they need.

14 Our people must learn to commit themselves to doing what is good. Then they will be able to provide for the daily needs of others. If they do that, their lives won't turn out to be useless.

15 Everyone who is with me sends you greetings. Greet those who love us in the faith. May God's grace be with you all.

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 admone illos principibus et potestatibus subditos esse dicto oboedire ad omne opus bonum paratos esse

2 neminem blasphemare non litigiosos esse modestos omnem ostendentes mansuetudinem ad omnes homines

3 eramus enim et nos aliquando insipientes increduli errantes servientes desideriis et voluptatibus variis in malitia et invidia agentes odibiles odientes invicem

4 cum autem benignitas et humanitas apparuit salvatoris nostri Dei

5 non ex operibus iustitiae quae fecimus nos sed secundum suam misericordiam salvos nos fecit per lavacrum regenerationis et renovationis Spiritus Sancti

6 quem effudit in nos abunde per Iesum Christum salvatorem nostrum

7 ut iustificati gratia ipsius heredes simus secundum spem vitae aeternae

8 fidelis sermo est et de his volo te confirmare ut curent bonis operibus praeesse qui credunt Deo haec sunt bona et utilia hominibus

9 stultas autem quaestiones et genealogias et contentiones et pugnas legis devita sunt enim inutiles et vanae

10 hereticum hominem post unam et secundam correptionem devita

11 sciens quia subversus est qui eiusmodi est et delinquit proprio iudicio condemnatus

12 cum misero ad te Arteman aut Tychicum festina ad me venire Nicopolim ibi enim statui hiemare

13 Zenan legis peritum et Apollo sollicite praemitte ut nihil illis desit

14 discant autem et nostri bonis operibus praeesse ad usus necessarios ut non sint infructuosi

15 salutant te qui mecum sunt omnes saluta qui nos amant in fide gratia Dei cum omnibus vobis amen
